An milestone for Pokemon. The 4th generation games as a whole represent a peak in overall game quality for me. Even though this game doesn't hold up well, it's an important first first step in Pokemon's glory days, and introduced a lot of mainstays to the series, online play, the physical/special split, the day/night cycle, etc. While this game is now outclassed by Platinum in every way, it's still worth recognizing for everything it has done for the series.
